Fast forward two weeks, it hasn't rained since the beginning of May, the ground is dry as a bone and the yard is "August crunchy", the grass is already dead.
The weatherman says we'll hit record highs over the next couple of days.
2021, the year we went straight from old man winter to the dog days of summer.
Literally, there were a couple days early on we ran the heat in the morning and the air conditioner that afternoon.
A few days ago, I read a story on my local weather app regarding how indeed we have less snow in the region than we did a decade ago, and "the new normal" has been updated thusly.
I just know this is the first time I've planted vegetables in a decade, and I'm having to water the plants regularly. Something I shouldn't have to do until late summer.
What I need to do is make plans to paint the deck... then it will never stop raining...
